"Wealth seminar" sounds like Primerica, which is Amway minus the soap & tiolet paper. Term life insurance instead.

A few years ago, I got tricked into a "job interview" that ended up being a 3 person Primerica tag team. It was kinda funny actually... the more I resisted, the more bizarre their tactics became. They ended up calling the "boss", who is SO RICH, on his YACHT in THE KEYS. Then they handed me the phone so he could convince me that I was throwing away an amazing opportunity. Funny stuff.

I used to date a girl who's father was BIG into Amway. It was non-stop pitches. He's ask me to help out with something at the cottage, and instead I'd get an hour long pitch on the way up, and then ragged out on the way home for not "wanting success". Sometimes he'd play the motivatioal tapes as we drove.... some of them were pretty amazing and actually interesting from a brainwashing perspective. I remember one about how important it was, as a LEADER, to maintain the IMAGE OF SUCCESS.

Anyway, he's into Primerica now.
